<span class=normal> We were there for two days during which time we visited a few of the temples. Chedi Luang which is over 600 years old was absolutely beautiful. There were huge, imposing antique Buddhas throughout the property, including a stunning jade one. Monks chanting and sweeping the grounds and seeing them all in their saffron robes, quietly going about their daily business was really lovely. We also visited the Royal temple Wat Phra Sing which was ironically less ostentatious but lovely nonetheless. There, like the locals, I offered candy, incense and a flower garland to Lord Buddha. There is a tremendous amount of peace in these Buddhist temples; no one hounds you for money, they are well maintained and a great place to meditate. Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep is perhaps the oldest temple and is in the mountain peak. Its an absolute must visit for its history and spectacular views over the city. </span>
